Medical Emergency Information and Contacts

Emergency Department vs. Urgent Care

In an emergency, dial 911 from your phone immediately.

An Emergency Department treats life or limb threatening health conditions. It is the best option when you require immediate medical attention.

Urgent Care treats minor illness or injury that cannot wait until tomorrow. It is also a good option if you do NOT have other underlying health conditions.
